This will be my last attempt to respond to you. After that
I will give up.

: {You have a rather unique style of appearing friendly while insulting others.}

: I am about to prove you are a liar, take it lightly as it is not meant
: to attack or anything

You live in a different world. Calling others a liar is an attack in my
vocabulary. But if you redefine the meaning of language, then you have to
talk to those who follow your defintions. I stick to the conventional meanings.

: In the above moon issue, there are about 10 (give or take) verses in the
: Islamic writing that give the location of the moon.

: 9 out of the 10 verses say that the moon is at the lowest heaven,
: and one verse does not give a specific location.

I was talking about the Qur'an only, not about "islamic writings".


: You expect a reader to believe you did not intensionally twist words around
; by taking "that one" verse out of the 10 verses that does not give location
: and changing the word _midst_ into _middle_

I do not expect anybody to just believe. I expect them to go and
check it and when they want they can write a response and send it to me
and I will put it up along side. I have made you that offer already
months ago, but you continue to complain instead of going to work and
write responses for the site. Why are you such a coward? Write a response
and I will put it up. And I will answer you on the site. But this silly
exchange here is ended NOW.

: If there are mistakes that you would like to correct, then in your site
" 'difficulties in the Qur'an' you can correct the first mistake by saying
: "difficulties in the _translation_ of the Qur'an". Or is decievement
: more your style?

On this very message board, you have posted many times "Bible contradictions"
Can you point me to even one of these postings that you called "difficulties in
the TRANSLATION of the Bible"? Or did you not call them errors or contradictions?

I don't want to attack you. No, I only kindly point out your hypocrisy.

: {First of all, none of the material on that page is written by me.}

: It is directly on your site,

It is not. At least not all of it. Furthermore, the site has been
started by me, but it is now a team working on it and not all is
supervised, let alone written by me.

: therefore it is slander with your name on it.

And it is not slander either.

: {Second of all, no link on that page says what you claim it says. Why are you lying?}

: Well, well, well, let's start with the quotes; "The Persecution of Christians
: in the Islamic World" here you are suggesting that the Islamic world Persecutes
: Christians (stereotyping), let's see what type of persecution the "Islamic _World_
: does to Christians" according your _site_ .

It is not me, but the author does not say every Muslim persecutes Christians.
He points out concrete cases of persecution. And they are documented.
Can you tell me one of them that is not real?

Have you ever seen a Muslim talking about Bosnia? Isn't that slander?
I mean, they say the Christians kill and rape Muslims, don't they?
But that is slander. I am a Christian and I have never raped or killed
a Muslim. Therefore you are slandering and stereotyping.

Right? But nowhere did we ever say "All Muslims ..."
All this site does is to point out real events which sadly
are not singular but relatively symptomatic. but that still
doesn't mean that all or even a majority of Muslims does this.

: 1.Muslim militants kill 10 Christians http://www.domini.org/openbook/cop70214.htm

Did they or did they not? Furthermore, open your eyes. What is the
domain name of that site? Is it answering-islam? No, this is an independent
web site. I have a link to it, but it is not on my site. By the way,
have you told your Muslim friends yet they should remove the slanderous
material that you acknowledged is slanderous in an earlier message on this
board? The one calling Jesus Satan? Clean up your own house first. Then come
and we can look into your complaints.

: 2.a high Muslim official. This man, her father, molested Seema when she was
: five http://answering-islam.org/Marriage/warnings.html

did he or did he not? In fact, I have met the author of this article and
she has been told this story by the person who was molested. What is your
knowledge about the situation? None.

: So your site doen't call Muslims murderers and molestors or am I the liar?

You said that I call all 1.5 billion Muslims murderers and molesters.
And nowhere do I do so. THAT was a lie on your part.

: { http://www.iol.ie/~afifi/BICNews/Harbinger/harbinger14.htm
: Here is a Muslim who acknowledges the atrocities happening. And he speaks mostly about Egypt, the country you claimed a few days ago all is so wonderfully harmoneous between Muslims and Christians.}

: You never lived in Egypt,

true, but these news come directly from Egypt. Should I sign you up for
the coptic mailing list? Every week the news come. Fresh from Egypt.

: Forth, that site is from Irland, not the Middle East.

I am glad you are such a funny guy. Do you know that you just posted your
arguments on this UK site? Since it is not posted on a Middle East side, but in
the UK it is irrelevant what you say.

Good grief. It is a Muslim site.

: The Law in Islam is to live in Peace with Christians

this might be the law, but that persecution web site is not
about the law, it is about REALITY. It is not about utopia or
some ideals, it is about those things that are really happening.

Stealing and murdering is against the law in the US too. And it happens
anyway. Should it not be reported because it is not the law? does it not
happen because it is not the law? I find your arguments incredibly strange.

: if they live in Peace with you, this has been the case for centuries
: and that is how Egypt is now.

It is not. Beginning of January a friend of mine, a convert was arrested
in Egypt and held for a whole week, and beaten, just because he was a
convert to Christianity.

That is reality. But nobody can force you to recognize reality.
